The first pose, Downward Facing Dog, if you've been practicing yoga it's fine to continue doing this especially in the first few months of your pregnancy and then to modify by using it or doing it at the wall after you are in at least your sixth month. As you move along in your pregnancy and you need to start to modify Downward Facing Dog, coming to the wall and separating your feet more widely apart and then extending with the hands on the wall.
